Great Film overall

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This scintillating black comedy about a married couple where the wife rules the house is refreshing hilarity. Katherine Heigl is cast as Mona Champagne, a ball-breaking wife who denies her husband sex unless she has scheduled coitus on her calendar. Patrick Wilson is simply brilliant as Heigl's milquetoast husband Don Champagne who runs a furniture store. He hires a drop-dead gorgeous saleslady, Dusty (Jordana Brewster of "The Fast and the Furious"), with whom he winds up in an extramarital affair until she informs him that she is pregnant. As it turns out, Dusty works as an accomplice to two murderous meth head desperadoes, Murphy (A.J. Buckley of "Zombie Hamlet") and Freeman (Kevin McKidd of "Trainspotting"), and they plan to blackmail Don. In an earlier scene, we saw Murphy and Freeman take advantage of another man who appears to be dead. Anyway, Don's one and only employee before he hired the sexually outgoing Dusty, Les (Jim Belushi of "Red Heat"), decided to give her $13-thousand dollars. Don's paranoia about the consequences of his affair prompts him to throw himself on the mercy of Mona, and she concocts a scheme whereby she is administer a Mickey Finn into Dusty's drink when the latter comes to see Don about the money. Naturally, Don is frightened at the prospect of Dusty dying from Mona's drink. Don is marginally relieved when Dusty revives just long enough for Mona to slug her with a hammer. Afterward, Mona dons a gown and cuts Dusty's corpse up with a wood-working appliance. She luxuriates in the splatter of Dusty's blood as she mutilates her lifeless body. Later, she has Don drive her over to Dusty's trailer where she stuffs Dusty decapitated head in the freezer. While she is shoving Dusty's body parts into the fridge, Freeman and a hooker surprise her while she is in the trailer. Mona displays no qualms about taking a samurai sword away from the witless girl and skewering her with it like a shish kebab. The dim-witted Freeman doesn't recognize Mona for a moment and she stabs him repeatedly with a knife until he crumples into his own pool of blood. Murphy is considerably upset when he comes home to the trailer and finds Freeman and the girl sliced and diced in their own reservoirs of blood. Emerging triumphant from her double-murder, Mona warns their gay neighbors about their frisky little dog that encroaches on the Champagne's home. She threatens to kill the little doggie if it ever ventures back onto their premises. One evening while they are preparing to bed, Mona warns Don that she has two deadly knives in her bedside cabinet that she will wield to carve him up if he displeases her. A shocked Don doesn't know what to do until he finds the poor little doggie in their own freezer, and he comes up with a plan to kill his wife that reminded me of the Michael Caine black comedy "A Shock to the Systerm" where he rigged up a booby trap that will electrocute his wife. Don fixes it so that the lightning fixture in their garage will spark up when she switches it on, and the gas leaking from two propane container will ignite. As Don is walking away from a party at their residence, the entire garage blows up.Director Anthony Burns and scenarists Carlo Allen, Ted Elrick, and Tom Lavagnino have created a flawlessly funny R-rated film that benefits from a light touch. Katherine Heigl is both wicked and clever as the domineering dame who emasculates her husband without a qualm. She treats their son with equal contempt but dotes on her intelligent daughter. Watching Heigl relish the prospect of cutting up a corpse is something that you don't always seen this lightweight comic pull off with her tongue-in-cheek. Burns and company never make a error in plotting the downfall of not only Dusty but also Murphy's accomplices. Everything is done with a wink and "Home Sweet Hell" lives up to its title and is a drastic change of pace for Heigl. If you are a Heigl fan, you don't want to miss "Home Sweet Hell."

Don Champagne seems to have it all, but when his wife, Mona, learns of his affair with a pretty new salesgirl, she will stop at nothing to maintain their storybook life. The worst thing about Home Sweet Home is easily how some pretty good actors get wasted in awful roles and a bad script actors such as Jim Belushi, Patrick Wilson and Katherine Heigl as for Jordana Brewster she might be good in Fast & Furious but i haven't seen her in anything good besides that and this film is no exception either. It's a bad excuse of a comedy and a bad excuse of a film it's not funny or even worth your time and your money it's just boring and simply awful (3/10).

...because something like this dark comedy is their collective nightmare. This film is not supposed to make sense from a detailed perspective, nor is it supposed to be filled with introspective self-aware characters, because that is how all of these people got into this fix in the first place.The first tip-off that this is just a farce is the family name of the protagonist...Don CHAMPAGNE??? Really? Well, Don owns a successful furniture business (sort of), owns a big fine house (sort of) and has a beautiful wife and two kids (sort of). You see, Don was a used car salesman and probably happy at that and then he married Mona. Mona's family has money, and Mona has "goals", all of which are very shallow. She is a beautiful woman and cold as ice. Everything is done her way because daddy is financing everything and she never lets Don forget it. She has sex scheduled for Don six times a year, and Don being a healthy guy in his thirties, this is just not enough, but strangely enough he still loves his wife.Enter stage left Dusty, a beautiful girl in her early 20s who answers Don's ad for a saleswoman. She initiates an affair with an at first reluctant Don who later is really into the regular supply of recreational sex and feeling like a teenager again. And here is where guys in this position in film never let the big head do the thinking. Why would a beautiful girl in the prime of life waste her time on a permanently married man? Soon, Dusty tells Don she is pregnant with his child and does not want an abortion AND she is uninsured. Partial karma for Don not offering his employees insurance, partial karma for not running to the nearest exit on his wedding day to Mona.Don has been a real milquetoast so far, and that is probably part of the reason he and Mona are married, but he does summon the courage to tell Mona that Dusty is pregnant, keeping the baby, and demanding money. Mona is partially cool as a cucumber, partially explosive in her reaction, but her final solution floors Don. Dusty must die or else their place in the community will be ruined. And Mona proves to be a very cool and dispassionate killer while Don spends his time throwing up in the bathroom. Mona dismembers the body and fertilizes their lawn with the parts. Game over as far as Mona is concerned.There is only one problem. Dusty has some friends...distasteful and potentially violent friends who know all about her relationship with Don. What happens? Watch and find out.I'd recommend this one because it is a pretty well made dark comedy with lots of plot twists and turns. In spite of the subject matter there is practically nothing in the way of explicit violence although there is plenty in the way of implication, such as when Mona comes in from the garage after dismembering Dusty wearing only her underwear and covered in blood. She says very matter of factly "I'm just covered in that girl" and heads to the shower.

This film tells the story of a furniture salesman who seems to have the perfect suburban life. He has an affair with an employee, and his life and his wife goes awfully wrong.I thought "Home Sweet Hell" was a romantic comedy, but it turns out it's actually a new hybrid of romantic comedy slasher! Katherine Heigl plays an obsessional turns psychopathic wife, breaking her run as the new queen of romantic comedy. She looks so different from her other films, she conveys the stone cold and ruthless attitude required for the role. Patrick Wilson is great as a helpless husband. The whole film is quite funny, despite some gruesome scenes not typically in a romantic comedy. Overall, I enjoyed watching "Home Sweet Hell".
